Free trees from Arbor Day Foundation

(Jan. 24, 2013) Massachusetts residents can receive 10 free flowering trees by joining the Arbor Day Foundation any time during January.

By becoming part of the non­profit Arbor Day Foundation, new members will receive two white flowering dogwoods, two flowering crabapples, two Washington hawthorns, two American redbuds and two golden raintrees.

The free trees are part of the foundation’s Trees for America campaign. They will be shipped postpaid in time for planting, between Feb. 11 and May 31, with enclosed planting instructions. The six-to 12-inch trees are guaranteed to grow or they’ll be replaced free of charge.

Members will also receive a subscription to the foundation’s bi­monthly publication, Arbor Day, and “The Tree Book.”

To become a member of the Foundation and to receive the free trees, send a $10 contribution to Ten Free Flowering Trees, Arbor Day Foundation, 100 Arbor Ave., Nebraska City, NE 68410 by Jan. 31. Massachusetts residents can also join and pay online at arbor­day. org/January.
